READY TO OCCUPY.

The basement Of the new Reformed church,
at the corner of Topeka avenue and Lewis
street is now completed, and will be occu.
pied next Sunday. The Sunday school will
meet at 9:45 a. m the pre aching service will
be at II a. m, and 1880 p. M. The Re
form church seems not to be extensively
known in the west, and yet it is, with the
Lutheran, the Mother of Professionalism.
Zwingli Of Switzerland and Luther of Ger
many, as everybody knows, were the first
great leaders of the reformation movement
Of the Sixteenth century. Their respective
followers ultimately organized themselves
into what is known in history as the Reform
ed and lutheran churches. John Calvin
and John Knox were both champions OF the
Reformed side Of Professionalism in their day.
The Heidelberg catechism, which is the
Coappional Standard of the Reformed
church, was first published at Heidelberg,
Germany, in the year 1868. It is conserva-
tive and thoroughly orthodox. 1t has been
endorsed by the General Assembly of the
Presby terian church as in strict keeping with
Gods word. The worship of this church is
partly lithurgical and partly free. 1t is to-
day one OF the largest bodies of Protestant
Christians in Europe and America. To this
church and its services all are cordially in
vited.

THE HERDER VINEGAR AND COMPRESSED
YEAST COMPANY.

As stated in the EAGLE q few days ago
Mr.. R. r. Herder. proprietor of the Topeka
Vinegar and Cider Works, has been in cor-
respondeuce fer some weeks past with tie
committee on manufactures in regard TO
moving his plant to this city. The matter IS
now settled Mr.. Herder came down from
Topeka last Monday and had conference
with Mr.. Getto and the secretary of the COM
mittee on manufactures.
| The matter was left in their hands while
| Mr.. Herder attended to some business at
Caldwell He returned Thursday and yes
terday the papers were drawn up and the
charter signed and sent to Topeka.
| The parties interested are Peter Getto,
| Henry Schweiter, D. G. Williams. james S.
Campbell and Frank D. Pavey OF this city,
and r. q. Herdar Of Topeka.
| This enterprise is an important one for
Wichita. Mr.. Herder has been nine years at
| Topeka and has a large and lucrative trade
| already established in southern and western
Kansas He comes here because Wichita is
a more central shipping point and will enable
| him to reach his trade better.
The capital stock of the company is SO, goo,
| of which $35 900 is to be invested at
| once in buildings and machinery. The works
will give employment to from 40 to so able
| bodied men only one position being filed by
lady clerk or boy.
Bids for the location Of the works will be
received until Saturday evening October Is,
and may be sent to Frank D. Pavey who
has the plans and specifications Of the build
ings at his office in the Fechheimer block,
and will furnish any information that may
be desired.
Mr.. Herdar left for Topeka last night to re-
turn Monday October 18th to decide up
on the location and proceed at once to con-
struct the works. In another column will
be found the formal bid for location con-
tanning particulars in regard to the buildings
and what the company will need in the way
of site.

FIRE! FIRE !
The Old Elevator and Contents Goes Up in IL
Flames Last Night.
Report Of committee.
Election Of officers.

The Old Elevator and Contents Goes Up In the
Flames Last Night.
Last night near l o'clock the old Elevator
took fire and burned to the ground. This
was the old building that has stood for years
along the Santa Fe track just north Of the
freight depot. 1t had been used for some
time as storage house, and last night was
filed with furniture beloning to W. A. Arey
Of North Main street. The alarm
covered and the fire department answered
with p onptness- The pressure for the first
ten minutes, the members of the hose COM
panies said, was insufficient to force the
water upon the burning building, in the
meanwhile the flames were spreading with
great rapidity. The whole interior was
mass of flames; burning shingles and chips
were waited in all directions by
the wind. Some Of these fell upon a train OF
loaded freight cars standing upon the track
and soon several of them were wrapped in
flames. Here the fire spread with the same
rapidity as in the building. and it looked as
If the whole train would soon be consumed
The hose company were thus compelled to
turn their attention from the elevator to
throw water upon the burning train. In
the meantime the engineer had
been notified, and rushing down with the
yard engine, coupled on to the cars and
hauled them away. In the hurry the train
was backed across Douglas avenue over the
hose, cutting it in two.
At last sufficient pressure was secured and
the fire laddies were able to effectually work
for the preservation of the property. But
this pressure came too late to do much good
as far as the elevator or the contents were
concerL ed. The hose companies, however,
continued their noble fight and the flames
spread no further. Had it been such night
as the one before in which the ware house on
South Market was destroyed, the loss would
have been far greater.
Mr.. Arey had in the building about s. coo
worth Of furniture besides ell OF his
household goods. All were entirely consum-
ed. TIE insurance on this property was for
$500. The loss to the owner OF the build
ing and to the car company was not known
at the time of the fire.
How the fire started is like that on the
preceding night unknown, but is said 20 be
the same-set on fire by tramps. This LEGAL
ity, it is well known, has been during
